Five Years

Today marks five years since Late-Attorney Jon left this life. I think about his widow and five daughters sometimes and wonder how they are holding up. Suicide affects even the most peripheral of all of us. I wonder if he would have been able to get over his challenges if he were still alive. Would he have been happy now had he chosen a different path? Would the pain that drove him to make that ultimate decision have subsided had he lived? One will never know. What I do know is, despite his demons, he was a good man, father and husband, a cornerstone in my accidental business and someone I am proud to have known.
